Having failed to find this one in the summer, I thought if I visited at this time of year when the undergrowth had died back, I might have more joy. I was not disappointed. Armed with a tape measure and the OS sketch, we worked out where it should be and started delving - and there it was, somewhat buried, but in good condition. We left it clear, but I am sure it will not be long before it is re-covered.
